So you say, Genk, but there is always the possibility that I'm just stumbling around and the sum total of my actions can be described as "moral" guided only by my (illusion) of intuition, or nothing at all... Personally, I couldn't tell you definitively either way. This might also just be some strange quirk limited to me and in no way indicative of how others go about the whole bit, couldn't it? But, to be more specific, nothing about this seems easy or intuitive Genk...I don't think about it at all, except after the fact, and then only rarely, and most of the time I'm incapable of making a determination of "right" or "wrong" even in the case of my own actions. I could probably make a damned good guess as to whether or not someone who holds a specific set of assumptions would call my actions right or wrong, but for my own part, most of the time, I draw a blank.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
